I am an assistant professor in the
School of Computational Science and
Engineering (CSE), within the
College of Computing
at
Georgia Tech. My research is in
the area
of
high-performance
computing.
Research: The HPC
Garage. I am developing automated tools and
techniques to tune, to analyze, and to debug software for parallel
machines, including emerging high-end multi/manycore architectures
and accelerators. I focus on applying these methods to CSE
applications, which include computer-based simulation of natural and
engineered systems and analysis of massive data sets.
For the latest information on my students, collaborators, and
research projects, please visit my research
lab,
The HPC Garage. Interested
in joining the lab?

and its seemingly inherent desire
to bridge the gap between theory and practice;
